10 Questions People Ask Before Committing to a Small Group
During this season of recruiting people to join groups, it's important to realize that some are very hesitant to join a group. If you and your small group leaders can be ready to answer the following questions you have a greater chance of getting the inhibited types to connect with one.
1. How much of my time is this going to take?
2. What are we going to do with our children during meetings?
3. Will there be homework? If so, how much?
4. Am I going to have to talk or can I just sit and listen during meetings?
5. Will I have to pray out loud?
6. Who else is going to be in the group?
7. How much do I have to know about the Bible?
8. How many weeks or months is this group going to last?
9. If I don't like it can I leave without people being angry with me?
10. What are we going to be doing during meetings?
Great questions. During my first experience with SGs those are the same questions I asked. Now I'm a "veteran" small groupee.
Thanks!
I sent a copy to all my small group leaders - thanks, Rick!
